Hi

this refers to the top-level thus you could use:

www.microsoft.example  as example

however section 3 of the rfc gives the domain names descripted earlier:

3. Reserved Example Second Level Domain Names

    The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) also currently has the
    following second level domain names reserved which can be used as
    examples.



         example.com
         example.net
         example.org
